Mariah Carey‘s style turned heads in August 2022, when photos showing her in New York City gained comments. The singer, 55, was still dating now ex-boyfriend Bryan Tanaka at the time, with the Big Apple snaps showing her accompanied by her beau, then aged 39.
While some remarked on the Grammy winner’s relationship with Bryan, most seeing The Daily Mail‘s photos spoke of her tight, flesh-colored dress. Looking elegant in a figure-hugging ruched number, Mariah flaunted her curvy figure in a floor-length day dress paired with Gucci platform heels, and it wasn’t the footwear causing her to be shamed as users wondered if she was comfortable. One user even gained likes for saying that Mariah’s dress wasn’t “flattering.”
Mariah Carey Shows Off NYC Style In Tight Dress
Photographed beaming as she exited her hotel, Mariah ditched her signature glitter for a more demure finish.
Displaying her curves in a low-cut, long-sleeved dress that fell to the ground, the blonde wowed in her slinky rich fabrics, letting the dress’ cinched waist accentuate her hourglass frame. Shouting out her high-end budget with a monogrammed pair of platforms covered in the Gucci logo, Mariah coordinated her earthy-toned shoes to her dress’ caramel shades, also keeping glam in shades.
Wearing her light locks down as she carried a fan and used one hand to lift her dress a little while walking, Mariah had an assistant carry an umbrella for her in one moment, with others showing dancer boyfriend Bryan assisting his girlfriend as she teetered around in her high heels. The former couple ended their seven-year relationship in December 2023, reportedly on account of Byran wanting children and Mariah, who already has teenage twins, being all set.
Told She Looks ‘Uncomfortable’ Amid Shaming Remarks
Replies came in fast. “Oh Mariah! [Flesh] is not your color and those platform wedges are not your friend!” the leading reply reads.
Meanwhile, over 300 fans agreed when a fan said: “Mariah is beautiful, but she could look even better if she had a stylist who dressed her for her body type.”
While one fan called the look “tacky,” and others suggested that the pop star is overweight, a separate user replied: “That color is not flattering for her skin tone.” Querying the entire ensemble and focusing on the footwear, one viewer noted:
“I really don’t understand why she wears the clothes she does, especially the shoes. She can’t walk in them and she’s so tall and doesn’t need the height. She looks, really ridiculously uncomfortable!”
Mariah has since made headlines for losing weight, and she’s slimmed down so much, fans are even wondering if she used weight loss drug Ozempic.
While the singer admitted to having gastric sleeve surgery to lose weight in 2017, she’s never admitted to using Ozempic.
